This sight epenihg -is 'd'esigned' to disclose "the Water line'in'the vessel 10. 1

"The heat unit lo-yed is'iio he ef'su-ch eapecity that the safet Valve 12'eai1-easily handle all the steam that the unit is capable (if gene ieti g, thereby Tenderin 'theflevice nbsoliibely safe.

has an enlarged bulb-like body portion with a nozzle or spout 18 tapering toward its free end, saidspout being shown in longitudinal 'alinement with the nozzle. A laterally extending arm 19 provides a finger grip to faoilitate'app lica'tion and removal of the nozzle. It will thus be seen thatwith the nozzle 17 applied as shown in Fig. 1 when the steam pressure in the vessel 10 reaches a predetermined point such as fifteen pounds more or less, the. valve 12 will release the steam and permit it to pass out through the nozzle where it may be employed for any desired purpose any attachment being connected with the spout 18.

Another discharge pipe or nozzle is shown at 20 and is removably mountedin the socket 13 of Fig. 1 and includes a threaded neck 21 forengagement with said socket, terminating at. its opposed end in a tapered spout or nozzle 22 and equipped with avalve 23, for controlling the passage through the nozzle.

. A removable closure 24 is provided for the socket 13 when it is not desired toconnect a nozzle therewith and asshown, comprises a threaded shank 26 to form a stopper for the socket and. equipped with a wing nut or .finger grip 25 to facilitate its application and removal.

In Fig. 5, another form of nozzle is shown and comprises a bulb-like body portion 28 having an internally threaded tubular neck 29' for engagement with the threadedbase 12 of the safety valve. A spout 30 extends at an..oblique angle from the body port-ion 28 and terminates in a tapered discharge end 31 with which any suitable attachment may be connected. In Figs- 3 and 4, a separate device 33 is shown applied to the end 31 of nozzle 30 and is constructed in the :form of a cylindrical nozzle closed at its opposite ends and provided through its length at one .side thereof with a plurality of longitudinally spaced perforations 34 through which the steam generated in the vessel 10 with .WlllCh this nozzle is. connected is to be ejected. A sleeve-like extension 35 projects laterally from the central portion of the nozzle 33 and is shaped to conform to the end 31 of nozzle 30 or to the ends of the nozzles 18 and 22 and may be detachab-ly connected therewith by means of a set screw contents of the container is discharged and may be used for spraying a persons throat, nose or for any other" purpose. The pipe 40 communicates with a right angular extension 41 to which a flexible hose 42 is designed to be connected: This hose 42 may be of any desired length and is adapted for connecting the container 37 with any one of the nozzles which is mounted on the steamer 10 so that when the container is filled with a medicant, disinfectant, oil or the like, which it is designed to combine with the steam and discharge through the nozzle 43, the pipe 42 is connected with the nozzle which is applied to the steamer preferably to the nozzle 22 so that the amount of steam fed through the container may be controlled by the valve 23. v

From the above it will be obvious that the steam entering the container 37 through the pipe 40 will combine with the contents thereof and be discharged in the form of spray through the nozzle 43. I

It is to be understood that this sprayer may be used for various purposes such as steamingvelvet, ribbons or the like and the nozzle 33 is especially adapted for such use. When it is desired to comloinewith the steam used for this purpose any cleaner or coloring ingredient, it may be suppliedi'by connecting up the converter 37 WltllthB 'IlOZ- zle, employed, it being of course understood that when the converter is used, either nozzle 20 or 30 must beemployed since no means are provided for connecting the converter with the nozzle 33. I V I The apparatus when. applied to the millinery trade will be equipped with two spouts, one similar to that shown in. Figs. 3 and 4 and the other may be either in th e form shown in Fig. 1 or that shown inFig. 5.

Iclaim: v, I 1. A sprayer ofthe' class described comprising a housing having a heat generating unit mounted therein, a closed steam generating vessel mounted in said housing over said unit, andasafety valve in the top of said vessel having means for connection of a nozzle. I I 2. A sprayer of the class described comprising a housinghaving a heat generating unit mounted therein, a closed steam generating vessel mounted in said. housing over said unit and having adome-shaped top with a safety valve in its apex and a threaded nozzle receiving socket in one side wall .of said top, said valve having a threaded base for attachment of a nozzle.

3. In a device of the class described, a cylindrical housing having perforations formed thereinand provided with supporting feet, the top ofsaid. housing being open and. having an inturned flange with arecess opening through said flange, a closed steam generating vessel having a radially extendin head to support it on said flange, and a In testimony that I claim the foregoing si e opening in one side wall equipped with as my own, I have hereto affixed my siga reinforcing frame adapted to seat in the nature in the presence of two Witnesses.
